Hempstead Intersection Street Former MGP Site -
Remedial Progress

Week Ending March 15, 2013

The latest site activities continued with Deep Soil Mixing (DSM), importation of DSM materials, excavation, transportation and disposal of soils continuing over the next few weeks. Additionally, work has begun backfilling the areas where DSM remediation was previously completed. Due to the recent reconfiguration of the Intersection Street site entrance to help complete the project work on-site, some of the larger delivery vehicles will need to utilize the Second Street site access gate periodically for the next couple of months.

The January 2013 Project Update Fact Sheet was mailed out to the Community to provide a project schedule update and a summary of the ongoing remediation work This Project Update mailing and the finalized Remedial Action Work Plan can also be found in the Key Documents/Major Reports section of this website. A link to the Fact Sheet can be found below. The work is being performed in accordance with the Community Air Monitoring Plan that was reviewed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Department of Health and the Nassau County Department of Health. There is an on-site NYSDEC representative monitoring the project activities.

As work proceeds, the web site will be updated periodically to ensure the community is informed of the project progress and schedule.
